The Pod Delusion episode 150

Episode 150: The Pod Delusion hits 150 episodes this week and as ever, mixes levity and serious issues in this regular counter-culture and alt-politics podcast. This celebratory episode kicks off with a bit of a grim start as we cover the debate of the definition of rape that the media has been having this week, as well as the continuing predicament of Julian Assenge; we then get a bit more upbeat as we talk about atheism and religion, and Alex Fitch looks into possible reasons behind the cancellation of The Dandy… plus Salim Fadhley and Matthew De Abaitua discuss the Art of Camping!

As part of a Sci-Fi late event at The Science Museum, Alex Fitch explores the continuing fascination with Science Fiction set in the Victorian era, but still being written today, and how it has influenced literature, film and fashion, with links to the 19th Century technology on display in the Science Museum, with aural contributions by Kim Newman, Bryan Talbot, Phil and Kaja Foglio.

As part of a series of talks and events tying in to the Superhuman exhibition currently on display at the Wellcome Collection, this talk is an all-action account of the muscle-bound figures gracing the pages of the Wellcome Library’s graphic novels, featuring rare issues. How extreme can anatomy become and still remain realistic? See how art, fantasy and the human body combine in exciting tales of heroes and villains.

Speaker: Stephen Lowther, Ephemera Curator, Wellcome Library
